Just to be sure I'm understanding you correctly, you are saying that you can handle the case "easily" where you have more than enough money for your needs by your paying for hackathons from the excess? If I've got that right, then it seems clear that when we sit down to thank you and your team by helping financially, the money ought to go to you. That might be hard for you to say, because of the obvious awkwardness, but I can say it. This seems clear, given declining CD revenues (which provide some support for you) and the Foundation providing no support for you. That doesn't sound sustainable, unless we pitch in with sufficient direct contributions to you.
